Gov. Pritzker: comments on the federal invasion of Chicago:

Pritzker: â€œOver the weekend, we received numerous confirmed reports of federal agentsâ€¦abusing their power, intimidating innocent civilians, and waging war on our peopleâ€¦What Iâ€™ve been warning of is now being realized.â€
— The Bulwark (@thebulwark.com) 2025-09-29T20:34:57.128Z

Pritzker: â€œIn any other countryâ€¦If federal agents marched down busy streets harassing civilians and demanding their papers, what would we say? I donâ€™t think weâ€™d have any trouble calling it what it is: Authoritarianism.â€

A disgrace.

Border Patrol â€œcommanderâ€ on who gets detained in Chicago.

â€œâ€˜Then, obviously, the particular characteristics of an individual, how they look. How do they look compared to, say, you?â€™ he said to the reporter, a middle-aged man of Anglo descent.â€

So top Portland cops wrote & *testified* that fed agents have been "instigating and causing" conflict.

They said agents were firing pepper balls unprovoked and "without any apparent warning"

When a Portland chief called a federal agent w/ Qs, the agent hung up.

Priztker: if federal agents fired upon journalists and protesters, when unprovoked, what would we call it?Â

I don't think we'd have any trouble calling it what it is. Authoritarianism.Â

So let's not pretend it's something else when it happens in our American cities.

Then have the cops demand they produce ID for parading around with weapons, and arrest their asses if they have none, and defend themselves if threatened.
